Wow, so I'm changing my vote:
Poles 20
Slavs 20
Polans 20
Vistulians 20
Silesians 20
Pommeranians 20
Masovians 20

Slovak 10

OK forget it, just kidding...

And Iberian Peninsula as a world's map...
Cool - just for separate scenario...

Oh yes!! ALWAYS the same!! "If we include it, we must include all the other ones". You believe in your words or only want annoy us? This is the same pathetic recurse that uses the ones that yet have an indepentent state to say us "enough states in the world". So countries like Ireland are only a piece of England? Or Poland from Germany? Or better: Is Eritrea a part of Ethiopia? Serbians and Croats are the same ones? Japanese and Koreans?

Ok, looking that you know a bit more from the Iberian Peninsulae:

The SPAIN idea was conformed by the unity of:

- Castilla-Leon (that's why I voted it)
- Portugal (voted before)
- The Crown of Arargon

¡Only 3! And now let's to show why THE THREE ONES should be included:

Portugal: Great naval achievments, unique culture (speak galego-portugueis, and not, galego isn't a separate language). Have Brazil in the same cultural wave.

Castilla-Leon: Think in the central piece of Spain for it, and the countries in South America.

Crown of Aragon: Controlled all the naval trade in Europe, had the biggest city in Europe (València), advanced political structure,
separate culture from Castilla. We created all the basis for the Naval Code used in Europe until the XIX. Controlled military all the Mediterranean Sea. More than 500 years of history as an independent state. 4 wars/revolutions for obtain again the independence. Isn't enough?

That's all. I'm not speaking of 12 useless tribes like zulus or iroquois, or the hellenic city states! If you want a unique civ for us, ok, let's to vote IBERIANS.

But, Hey Oerdin, you could have let that one pass by, couldn't you!
I won't argue with you, though.

Sorry silvagem. I should have phrased it more gently but my father is from Scotland so nation pride compelled me. :-)

Bizancio: 20 puntos.
Cartago: 20 puntos

You should use English

Take it easy, man?
You need a little bit sense of humor...

Now, now, Leppersson, like I said before, there's nothing wrong with voting in any other language than English, as long as you're an Apolytoner (and alf's prince status & registration date confirm that).

Just to make sure I didn't screw up the translation (and to help out those of us who don't speak any Spanish), here's what I believe to be the English version of alf's vote (anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong):

Spanish: 20 points.
Byzantines: 20 points.
Carthaginians: 20 points.
Phoenicians: 20 points.
Maya: 20 points.
Inca: 20 points.
Aztec: 20 points.
Hebrew: 20 points.

If this is accurate, then there are a two problems with the vote: (1) the Aztecs are already in the game so I can't count that vote and (2) the Carthaginians and Phoenicians are (at least for the purpose of this poll) one and the same so I can only count one of those two.

Now, if alf needs a Spanish translation for the above he'll have to ask Jay Bee or some other Spanish poster about it 'cause I'm not *that* good


BTW, I'll update the ranking tonight or tomorrow morning.

[Jay Bee]

Locutus, your translation of alf's picks was perfect. I'll take care of the explanations in case he does not understand your post (but I think he will anyway).

[Sarxis]

XP: never ending story?

When I come to this forum, 8 out of the 15 threads on the first page alone are about XP civs.

I think I won't be coming back here for a while.

Ranking updated: last update: alf, 204 votes, 31273 points. Congrats to jasev on casting the 200th valid vote

I also added links to the 'Expansion Pack Civs Explained' threads in the first post, as those are very relevant for this thread (though I may need to move it to the second post in the near future as I'm getting extremely close to the 20000 character max).

I updated my own vote as well: Hebrew -10, Olmec +10. Thanks to the new 'XPC Explained' threads I've come to agree with some of the other people around here that the Hebrew weren't quite as important as some other civs (besides, they already have plenty of points), while I was never quite happy with the fact that I had withdrawn my vote for the Olmec...

Anunikoba,
Maybe you should increase the number of threads per page n your preferences?

Thank you thank you. It's a great honor to receive this award. It was not an improvised work, but it wouldn't have been possible without my supporting team.

[TCO]

Either remove the fat Lumpkins or add the poodles.

[Locutus]

@ jasev

GP,
I (reluctantly) accepted Lumpkin's vote because it's apparently some character/nation/whatever from Lord of the Rings and (to the best of my knowledge) humanoid. Your poodles (and about a dozen other dog races that have been suggested so far) are not humanoid so I didn't accept them.

I know, it's a very thin line but I have to draw it somewhere...
